I am scheduled for surgery on July 1st. Have just finished 4th day of pre-op diet. Not the easiest thing I have ever done! Am very excited to get the surgery done. Any helpful suggestions out there?

The first few days of Optifast for me were the worst. Somehow my body did not want to adjust to the less full feeling, of just this little protein shake, and Wow, was I not prepared for hunger when I was preparing food for others. But after the first ten days I had lost about 7 pounds, and by that time you should be done with having your surgery. Congratulations. As a person who had to be on Optifast for longer, I can say this, You learn to appreciate that you will get to eat "real" food someday. Congratulations on being so close to your surgery date. I'll be praying for you next week. Donna

Donna, thanks for the encourgement! I am very excited to get this done. Thanks for your prayers! Dee

Hi Dee! You're doing great! You want those intestine nice and clean when they start snipping. I read several books that helped. Check out my profile for the titles. ---jan---
